Carlson has given not just the highlights & major figures, not just a condensation of the broad currents & main outlines, but a thorough account of all the significant theories of the theater." - Daniel Gerould, Professor of Theater, City University of New York * "[Carlson] has taken on the monumental task of abstracting the major theoretical statements of the theatre from the Greeks to the present. . . . He cogently summarizes [the texts], drawing comparisons freely while avoiding evaluation. The book's organization is historical, w/ national divisions until the 20th century, at which time all countries are considered together within much more finely defined time limits. This is a much needed book." - Choice * "The coverage [in "Theories of the Theatre"] is remarkable. It is already difficult to imagine seriously undertaking theatre studies w/o this volume in a prominent place on one's shelf. - Theatre Survey * Mavin Carlson is Sidney E. Cohn Professor of Theatre Studies & Distinguished Professor of Theatre & Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center, University of New York. N° de réf. du libraire 007102
